So much paper.

You know, it's possible to have a conversation without having an argument. It is possible to listen to others. Not everything in life, or indeed on Hacker News, is a debate to be w…

I'm not sure if you're talking about the pain of going back to testing ruby / rails after using mocha / node, but I feel that specific pain, especially on projects with old-school …

The author has clearly framed these as personal opinions, which as we all know, everyone is entitled to.

1900s me had a fabric binder full of MSDN CDs - dozens upon dozens it seemed - with the same software footprint and a harder "download" process.

Using verb as a verb.

Agreed, it's actually a rather difficult melody.

There is a difference between web pages and web applications, and Meteor is built for the latter. There is no such thing as a progressive enhancement path in many cases. If your fi…

Do you mean production support for hosted redis instances? If so, loads of companies offer this, most notably AWS through their ElasticCache service. I can see a broader need for e…

But you can't have clients directly connecting to the database, their sockets still need to flow through an application layer where you have your business / application logic. Unle…

> Refactoring across the call stack is orders of magnitude easier than refactoring across a socket. That's assuming that things haven't become deeply coupled within the "call stack…

He literally says that those who disagree with his code style should be shot. That's completely unacceptable language to use and makes him sound like he hasn't mastered English. I'…

What about testing these systems with headphones then?

I've heard it said a thousand times, but it still bears repeating; terrorism is impossible to defend against.

OP mentioned the pop/country genre, which is typically very heavy-handed with the chord progressions.

It does mean something, that Node.js has a backwards version numbering scheme. That's one of the first things the io.js people corrected in their fork (they are strict semver and s…

Let's just agree to use better words starting now. Primary/Replica?

Yeah, building web apps this way is a fad. I predict everyone will go back to full page reloads and server-rendered content. /s

Angular

The style is best suited to server-side code where source minification is not an issue and you can enjoy the full language.

That there is no configuration is kind of the point. Close the door on the bike shed and attempt to popularize a conventional style. If you want more control, use ESlint or jslint …

This is starting to pick up steam in the node community, and represents the coding style of a vast percentage of core and popular npm modules: https://github.com/feross/standard It…

The reason io.js was forked, in my opinion, is because a core group of very strong contributors wanted control over Node. They gained that control by forking, giving away control o…

That logic doesn't make any sense. It's like saying hey, my car costs thirty thousand dollars, why shouldn't I spend $50 on a sandwich?
